The Great Nuggets Crowd Conundrum: Just How Many Fans Flooded the Streets?
The Denver Nuggets brought home the championship, and the city erupted in a celebration of epic proportions. The parade was a legendary event, a sea of burgundy and blue stretching as far as the eye could see. But one question has everyone scratching their heads: just how many people were there?
Eyewitness Accounts: From a Sprinkle to a Swarm
Some reports described the crowd as a "gentle sprinkle" of fans, while others swore it felt like "every single Nuggets fan on the planet" had descended upon Denver. One enthusiastic parade-goer even claimed to spot his grandma who lives in Florida (jury's still out on that one).
The Official Guesstimate (with a Side of Nuggets)
Denver's ever-optimistic Mayor Michael Hancock offered a conservative estimate of 700,000 to 1 million people. That's a lot of folks, enough to fill Mile High Stadium... twice! Imagine the high-fives, the chants of "M-V-P!" echoing off the buildings, and the sheer mountain of empty chicken wing boxes.
